unbelievable

okay. i just feel unbelievably tired. i know you all have exhausting jobs, too, either as teachers or something else. but i just feel like i'm in an endless rat race right now.

1) my students at the end of the day are acting kind of crazy. i have 7th and 8th graders in the same class (because it's ELD--English Language Development) and it generally causes craziness. right now, they're taking a test which i have elected to read to them. there is a different test for 7th and 8th graders. so for the past two days, i have had to send someone to the library with them to give them the test. i have kept the 8th graders (most of the class) in my classroom to do their test. but the coordination is just...well...tiring!!

also:
1) i am coordinating the oratorical fest, and the entries are due tommorow. the website is down.
2) i have to submit my fieldtrip request form by tommorow and i don't know what dates to go yet
3) my desk is a mess
4) i am trying to leave early tommorow to go out of town for the weekend
5) grades are due (but i am finished YAYAYAY!!)
6) i am doing something different with each class tommorow
7) i leave in 20 minutes for my once-a-week extra tutoring job for $$$
(at least at tutoring i get a big mac or some pizza. yum!)

okay. gotta go. just so tired.....
